Riqiang Gao

I'm fortunate enough to work with amazing researchers. During my Ph.D. period, I have been trained by computer scientists Dr. Bennett Landman & Dr. Yuankai Huo, lung cancer research experts Dr. Pierre Massion & Dr. Sandler, and statistician Dr. Thomas Lasko. As a research intern, I have worked in Tencent Youtu x-lab with Dr. Jiaya Jia, Imsight Technology with Dr. Hao Chen, and Siemens Healthineers with Dr. Zhoubing Xu. I also have mentored master-graduate / undergraduates working on lung cancer research projects. The following are researchers that I have closely worked with before I obtained my Ph.D.
